Today's Video Update: Washington - We Have A Problem

Posted on by The INO.com Team

Hello traders everywhere! Adam Hewison here, co-founder of MarketClub with your mid-day market update for Monday, the 1st of April.

Washington - We Have A Problem
That seems to be the secret message that Europe is sending to America. With little to no fanfare, it was announced last Friday (Good Friday) that Jack Lew, the newly appointed Treasury Secretary, will be heading to Europe for a series of meetings with finance ministers in early April. When I heard the news of Jack Lew's trip to Europe, it immediately threw up a red warning flag that things are not going well in Europe and they may need America's help, which is interesting as we are drowning in debt ourselves. When this news story broke, I was appearing on Fox Business News with Liz Claman. Continue reading "Today's Video Update: Washington - We Have A Problem" →

Today's Video Update: Holding the euro is like holding an ice cube in the desert

Hello traders everywhere! Adam Hewison here, co-founder of MarketClub with your mid-day market update for Thursday, the 28th of March. Which happens to be the last trading day of the 1st quarter.

HOLDING THE EURO IS LIKE HOLDING AN ICE CUBE IN THE DESERT
The only way I can describe the euro is like this... imagine you're in the middle of the desert holding an ice cube and watching it slowly melt through your fingers. That is what's happening to the euro and the euro zone. It is slowly melting away. The Trade Triangles are negative and continue to point to lower levels for the Euro v. the U.S. Dollar. A close around the 128 level will be the lowest close seen for the euro in the last three quarters.

Today's Video Update: Goodbye Yellow Gold, Hello Black Gold

Posted on by The INO.com Team

Hello traders everywhere! Adam Hewison here, co-founder of MarketClub with your mid-day market update for Tuesday, the 26th of March.

Goodbye Yellow Gold, Hello Black Gold
The gold market continues to frustrate the bulls and confound conventional wisdom. The market action yesterday and early today can only be seen as negative. With both our weekly and monthly Trade Triangles red, we see no reason to get excited about gold moving higher at the moment, so for now say goodbye to yellow gold.

On the other side of the ledger, say hello to black gold. Yesterday our weekly green Trade Triangle kicked in and gave a buy signal in the crude oil market. Yesterday's buy signal was in line with the longer-term monthly Trade Triangle, which has been bullish and in place for quite some time. We see the renewed bull market in crude oil continuing from here based on our Trade Triangle technology. With gasoline and crude oil prices moving higher, it does raise concerns about gas prices. If gas prices become so expensive, is that going to derail the economy? Continue reading "Today's Video Update: Goodbye Yellow Gold, Hello Black Gold" →

Today's Video Newsletter: The Fed meets today and tomorrow … what to expect

Posted on by The INO.com Team

Hello traders everywhere! Adam Hewison here, co-founder of MarketClub with your mid-day market update for Tuesday, the 19th of March.

What Will The Fed Do?
The Fed will be meeting today and tomorrow to decide the future course of action for interest rates. I suspect the blowup in Cyprus, which could be the tip of the iceberg, will be weighing on policy makers' minds and that the Fed will hold steady. The Fed is on a tricky course to try to juice up the market and the economy with low interest rates. The strategy of keeping interest rates low and pumping money into the system to the tune of $4 billion every trading day has many detractors, who claim the cost of doing this is just too expensive and the nation cannot afford it. It would seem to this market observer that the Fed and the market are both addicted to cheap money. When interest rates begin to rise, and they will, expect to see a radical change in sentiment towards the equity markets as inflation will once again rear its value robbing head to a whole new generation of investors.
